And why *Buckle* you ask?  Apparently, it has to do with the batter buckling due to the berries and crumb topping.
Well, whatever the reason, it is yummy and deserving of a name that sets it apart.

So, here’s my version…

Cream 1/4 c. butter

and 3/4 c. sugar with a blender.

Add one egg and blend well.

In a separate bowl, mix 2 c. flour,

2 tsp. baking powder,

and 1/2 tsp. salt.

Measure out 1/2 c. milk or buttermilk, and pour just a bit into the egg/butter/sugar mixture.

Use the mixer to blend and then add some of the flour mixture.

Alternate milk and flour mixture a bit at a time until everything is combined.

Using a spatula, carefully, fold 2 c. fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter trying not to squish them and turn your batter blue.

Butter an 8×8 inch pan and sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar. Pour the batter into the pan.  The batter will be very thick.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Using either a mixer,  pastry cutter, or two knives,  cut 1/4 c. cold butter into

1/2 c. sugar,

1/3 c. flour,

and 1 tsp. cinnamon, until the mixture looks like pea sized crumbs.

Pour the crumbs over the batter, and bake for 25-30 minutes if using fresh berries and up to 50 minutes if the berries were frozen. Watch it carefully using a toothpick to check frequently.

When the toothpick comes out clean or with crumbs, take it out and give it some time to cool.
